What a coincidence. I got the SIP Client in a Nokia E65 working today.
However, I had to replace the Vodafone firmware on the phone with generic
(non-Vodafone) firmware before it would work at all.

I've seen some suggestions that Vodafone cripple the SIP client in the Nokia
firmware so it only works when you connect via a Vodafone wireless access
point.

This may be correct, but they were just having Wifi disabled by default, I
guess we might see why they are now allowing Wifi.

I bought a SIM free phone which I am using with an old Virgin SIM, so I
guess I am using the standard Nokia software.

Having googled after alexd's reply I see that there have been problems
operating behind NAT routers. I don't know if this is my problem. There
have been promises by Nokia to have this fixed by now.

Are you running behind a NAT router? What VOIP service provider are you
using?

Yes I am behind a NAT router, but I'm using a proprietary (private) provider
I'm afraid.

If I get a chance I'll see if I can get it working with Sipgate tomorrow.

The E90 works OK behind NAT, although I don't quite know how as I
never gave it a STUN server, have no ports forwarded, not using uPNP,
etc. ... Not had time to sniff the packets though, to see how it's
doing it.

I only discovered the other day that you could get mobiles with VOIP as
well, and I thought it would be useful on holiday as often hotels have WiFi
networks.
It is such a good idea if only it would work!

Worked a treat with sipgate - nothing special over and above the sipgate
settings required. It does sound like you're having general network
problems though - given your X-lite problems.

Thanks for the info. Right now there is some fault within Pipex which has
broken my ADSL connection.

X-lite did work with a BTinternet dial up connection, whether this is
because Sipgate have done something with my account after I complained about
not being able to add money or because I am avoiding my Speedtouch 510 NAT
router I don't yet know.

It is nice to know that the phone should work though. Thanks for your help.

Rings bells. I had to do something to my Speedtouch 546 before SIP would
work through it. The Speedtouch does some horrible things to SIP packets.
Off the top of I head I can't remember what I did, but I had to telnet into
the thing and poke around until I turned the SIP ALG function off.
